Atom Live is one of the unique reasons to choose Access to Music. It is a music company dedicated to offering you real-life music opportunities from gigs to trade shows to digital distribution to work experience.
Atom Live offers students amazing live performance experiences at professional venues across the UK, as well as industry input through masterclasses, seminars and the chance to visit music trade shows and music business conferences.
In addition Atom Live offers music publishing, artist management, digital distribution and music showcase opportunities which will further enrich your experience with us.
Atom Live also organises a prestigious national Student Music Awards Ceremony, hosted in the past by the likes of Lauren Laverne and Edith Bowman, where we celebrate student success in the style of the BRIT or NME Awards. For 2012, the Awards Ceremony will be hosted in partnership with Liverpool Sound City.
All this means that wherever you study, you’re part of a national student music network that could see you performing or working at national and international events.
STOP PRESS: Atom Live is offering an Apprenticeship in event production starting February 2012 in Norwich. More info >
